Serotonin: Waiting but Not Rewarding
نویسنده
چکیده
A new study in mice demonstrates that stimulating dorsal raphe serotonin boosts patient waiting but stimulation itself is not rewarding. Dorsal raphe serotonin's unique contribution provides a neural locus for impulsivity and related failures of patience.

[Psychological stress and rewarding effect of alcohol].
It has long been postulated that an interaction between ethanol and stress may play an important role in the etiology of alcoholism. In the present review, we focused on an interaction between ethanol and stress in the mechanism of psychological dependence on ethanol. Ethanol with conditioned fear stress (CFS), but not without the stress, induced a significant place preference. These results su...
متن کاملPsychomotor and rewarding properties of the neurosteroids dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate and androsterone: effects on monoamine and steroid metabolism.
The neurosteroids, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and androsterone, are implicated in drug addictions. We examined their influence on locomotor activity and reward in male Wistar rats, and on steroid and monoamine metabolism in the hippocampus and striatum. In the open field test, DHEAS injections (10, 40, 80 mg/kg, i.p.) 30 min prior the test had no significant effect on ambulation, bu...
متن کاملActivation of dorsal raphe serotonin neurons underlies waiting for delayed rewards.
The serotonergic system plays a key role in the control of impulsive behaviors. Forebrain serotonin depletion leads to premature actions and steepens discounting of delayed rewards. However, there has been no direct evidence for serotonin neuron activity in relation to actions for delayed rewards. Here we show that serotonin neurons increase their tonic firing while rats wait for food and water...
متن کاملOptogenetic Activation of Dorsal Raphe Serotonin Neurons Enhances Patience for Future Rewards
Serotonin is a neuromodulator that is involved extensively in behavioral, affective, and cognitive functions in the brain. Previous recording studies of the midbrain dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) revealed that the activation of putative serotonin neurons correlates with the levels of behavioral arousal [1], rhythmic motor outputs [2], salient sensory stimuli [3-6], reward, and conditioned cues [5-...
متن کاملDissociation of rewarding and dopamine transporter-mediated properties of amphetamine.
The interaction of amphetamine (AMPH) with the dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT) is thought to be critically important for the DA-elevating actions of this drug. It is commonly believed that DA elevations are involved in the rewarding/reinforcing properties of AMPH and other drugs of abuse. Here, we found that DAT deletion did not eliminate the rewarding effects of AMPH as measured by conditioned...
